   Tornado touched down in Chicago suburb before crossing into   
   Rogers Park Monday, NWS confirms   
      
   CHICAGO — An EF-1 tornado touched down in Lincolnwood before   
   moving through Rogers Park Monday, the National Weather Service   
   confirmed Tuesday.   
      
   A damage survey by the NWS confirmed an EF-1  tornado with   
   estimated peak winds of 110  mph and a maximum width of 300   
   yards touched down in Lincolnwood and progressed east northeast   
   through Phillip Rogers Park.   
      
   Rogers Park resident Mary Hopkins said she had just got home   
   from volunteering with the census when the tornado hit.   
      
   “I was heading toward the basement and got to the center of the   
   house, and then this tree came down and the whole house shook;   
   knocked the plaster off the wall, the crown molding upstairs, I   
   was cowering in the doorway but it was over in a flash,” Hopkins   
   said.   
      
   Branches took down power lines in her backyard, and she said   
   she’s waiting on ComEd to come before the trees can safely be   
   removed. Storms left 500,000 people without power across the   
   area, and ComEd says it will take several days to get everyone   
   back online.   
      
   The tornado was part of a derecho which caused damage from Iowa   
   to northern Indiana, bringing winds of 70 mph and higher, while   
   downing branches and uprooting trees along the way.   
      
   At the end of its 3-mile path, the tornado moved through   
   Pottawattomie Park, roughly along west Fargo Avenue, before   
   crossing on to Lake Michigan and becoming a waterspout. There   
   were no confirmed injuries or fatalities.   
      
   This is only the 15th tornado to impact the Chicago city limits   
   since weather records began in 1855. The most recent was a very   
   brief landspout in 2016, and another in 2006 near the Loyola   
   campus.   
      
   There's your fucking reparations, niggers.
